Two Iranians convicted of murder were hanged in Tehran's Ghasr prison, the government daily Iran reported.
Hossein-Ali Yussefi was executed for stabbing his wife to death with a knife because of her "suspect" behaviour, while Said Rafiie, a young gardener, killed a 72-year-old man and his sister, aged 75, during a break-in at their villa.
